I’ve always been a cheerleader for women. Throughout my life, I’ve been lifted by incredible women—those I knew personally and those I admired from afar. Queen Elizabeth I, Jane Austen, and Virginia Woolf showed me strength and courage. Later, Brené Brown, Sara Blakely, and Oprah taught me the power of vulnerability.

These women flow through my brush. When I paint, I feel their wisdom and strength, pushing me to uplift others. Growing up, I was captivated by Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Dali, Warhol, and Kahlo—artists who embraced boldness and individuality.

Abstract female portraits became my way of capturing that energy—the raw, unapologetic power of women. Through my work, I hope to inspire women to embrace authenticity, take up space, and live without shame, knowing they’re enough.
